What to do when you just arrived in Buenos Aires..
Where do you start? What are the must sees? Where do I have to go to, and When?
In this blog I will tell you short which things you don´t have to miss when you visit Buenos Aires. The absolutely must sees of this Paris of South America!

1. The Neigbourhood of La Boca, It´s famous with all the houses in colors, but oh- it´s so touristy. and it´s very small. Just one street, but you have to see it, Tango at the street etc… The pictures are famous and published all over the world.

2. And in my opinion is a visit to a match from Boca, un absolutely must do! the atmosphere is amazing and incredible. Just when you have been there you have been there you understand what I mean. TRY THE CHORIPAN, Those are amazing at Boca!

3. On a Sunday morning San Telmo sometimes seems close to being a tourist trap but the antique fair and the atmosphere still make it worth a visit, but know that it is very crowd. The market is only on Sundays but San Telmo is worth walking around on any day of the week. Sometimes the restaurants aren’t that good and overpriced but stop in at Bar Dorrego on Defensa for a snack.

4. Enjoy, Relax and do nothing in one of the green parks in Buenos Aires. Also the Japanese Jardin is a nice park, just to be out of the city for a moment and enjoy some green and smells..

5. Asado/Parilla, something you have to try over here. maybe when you met someone you can try a real asado, that definitely the best way, otherwise just on the street.. With good wine and your day will be perfect!

6. At Monday you have to to the Ciudad Cultural Konex. From 7 until 00.00 there is an music experience you will never see and feel again.

7. Ofcourse visit the cemetery of Evita, at Recoleta. They say its one of the greatest cemeteries of the world!

8. The shops and restaurants in Palermo, just to walk around for a day, you will love this area.

9. Nightlife is a must to see, there are plenty of different bars and clubs.

10. The Polo season is just started and in that case you have to see a Polo Match.

11. You have to enjoy the Buenos Aires Restaurants, the offer probably the best beef and wine in the world

12. Enjoy a traditional Argentinean tango show with a South American dinner.

13. Puerto Madero, you like it or hate it. It´s the newest modern, most expensive part of BsAs. You have a lot of Shopping, clubs and restaurants over here.

14. Museums in BsAs…
You like to go the museums or not, but the following Museums are the best of BsAs and probably you will like them as well..

Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (Malba), this not-for-profit art museum and cultural center first opened its doors in 2001 with the mission to promote contemporary Latin American artists
The Museo de Bellas Artes is a gem. Excellent location. Check the trees in the park next door,

15. Madres de Plaza de Mayo: Thursday afternoons at 3:30, the mothers of the disappeared still march every week in the plaza. After their march, which lasts thirty minutes, the madres gather in front of the Casa Rosada for a short speech.

16. Café Tortoni: they say ´the oldest and most beautiful of the cafés in the city´ I think it´s not very special, but when you have time and you´re in the neighbourhood, go and take a look..

17. Do you want to see one of the most incredible bookstores in the world? Go to El Ateneo: at Av Santa Fe 1860.

18. Palermo Chico. Lovely to walk around, watch the houses/ architecture. People on the streets, I my opinion the one of the nicest parts of BsAs.

Enjoy this lovely city and there is a reason ´why they call it the´Paris´ of South of America´!!!!!!!!!!
